    Summary

    Three years ago, Mike Wheeler was too afraid to speak, too afraid to feel the truth that was always buried deep within him. He let the one person who had always been his safe place, Will Byers, slip away, and in that silence it became too late.

    Now, living a life drained of color and weighed down by regret, Mike follows a thread of hope to New York City, desperate to find the boy he let go. When he sees Will on the dance floor, confident and alive in a way Mike never imagined, he is stunned. Every smile, every movement reminds him of all the years he spent afraid and all the years he spent loving in silence.

    Standing before him, hearts tremble and words falter. Mike is desperate for a life where fear does not rule him, where regret does not weigh him down, and where he can finally fight for the person he has loved all along.

    For the first time in years, he is not willing to let that love slip away again.

    Summary

    LAST UPDATED: 7/8/25

    Everyone loves the farmer. It’s starting to drive Sebastian a little a mad. Why does everyone care about a stupid farmer? Even his best friends are acting funny, his MOM pays the farmer compliments when he’s not even around!

    It’s ridiculous, maybe he’s a stalker. Sebastian knows he’s running around town, buttering everyone up, everyone except him.

    It’s fine, it’s better that way. Sebastian is content without ever meeting that creep. Maybe creep is too harsh, No- no it’s not. Anyone who figures out everyone’s favorite gift and talks to them every single day is a creep! Even if he has beautiful eyes, long flowing hair, strong arms— no. He’s a stalker creep who Sebastian does not like!
